Re: How fast can you fall in love with a doctor who listens?! (LOOOOONG)From: anonymous@obgyn.netFri, 26 May 2000 16:25:48 BST
Kay this is soo great!! But then you obviously handled the whole thing really well. Well done you! :-) Sam P > I know the suspense is killing you! LOL My new doc is one to add to the >list of keepers...Dr. Douglas Coslett, obgyn in NE PA! He was kind, >informed, and cut to the chase...he's fairly convinced that I have PCOS, >but is testing a lot of things to rule out other causes of symptoms. He >listened intently, explained PCOS, etc. and ordered tests (hormone >levels, thyroid, IGTT, etc.). I told him that I was not a DR., nor did >I play one on TV, but that I had researched this condition enough to >write a doctoral thesis. He was NOT intimidated by that, but glad...I >knew I loved him at that moment...sigh... The only thing that he told >me that had me question him was that he was only going to order the >fasting glucose and insulin levels. I asked him if he ever ordered at >least a 2 hr. IGTT and he said, in his practice that things have shown >up on the fasting tests. BUT>GET THIS>ARE YOU READY???? He then >asked if I had read studies or had literature that would indicate a >newer or different protocol. I told him yes and he said, ok, lets order >a 2 hr. and go from there. I was pleased with that. The only thing is >that I noticed he ordered "post prandial" which means after a high carb >meal instead of the nasty sugar drink. I'm not complaining, but I >wonder if it will work the same. I guess if not, he's the kind of guy >that will do whatever tests I ask for! I guess I should've known I was >in good hands, when I walked into the office and the receptionist was >obviously a CYSTER!!! He told me that he had MUCH success with patients >on Met, but that I'd have to finish breastfeeding before I could take it >(I knew that). He also went ahead and prescribed the spiro (safe while >breastfeeding), and told me to go to his other office AT MY CONVENIENCE >for an intravaginal ultrasound. He just likes to have a baseline of >everything to work from. I could tell b/c of my experience that he >wouldn't be the best OB choice for me, but GYN stuff he knows. Since >our family is complete, I don't need an ob...he does deal well with >infertility and PCOS, from what I could gather. > >OK, I've gushed enough...too bad he's married or I'd hook him up with >one of you single Cysters! :o) > >Thanks for the encouragement and support, Ladies!
